/Here is the info they send out every year. This was for 2024. I should be getting another one since enrollment is coming up. Probably the same thing your saying/
"Reminder: Mayo Clinic in Arizona accepts Original Medicare, is not in network on Medicare Advantage Plans
At Mayo Clinic, our patients are at the center of everything we do, and your trust is very important to us. Sharing information is one way to help ensure we continue to be trusted partners for your healthcare needs.
Beginning in mid-October, it will be time to select healthcare coverage for 2024. We want to remind you that Mayo Clinic in Arizona is not currently in network for any Medicare Advantage Plans.*
While this is not new, it is an important reminder: Medicare Advantage Plans do not include care at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, even when the plan indicates that you can be seen at any facility that accepts Medicare.
We continue to accept Original Medicare (sometimes referred to as Traditional Medicare) including Parts A, B, and D, and supplement plans. If you choose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan, we can provide your medical records to the in-network facility you select for care.
If you are out-of-network, we will complete any active treatment but cannot begin new episodes of care or schedule new, unrelated appointments after January 1, 2024.
Medicare Advantage Plans are managed by commercial insurance companies on behalf of Medicare and offer a specific network of contracted medical providers and hospitals, which do not include Mayo Clinic in Arizona. These plans are required to have a substantial network of qualified providers to accommodate their members' medical needs."
